1. A method comprising:
- determining access network conditions by a network device in an access network, the access network providing communications between a client device and a destination reachable via a data network;
selecting, by the network device based on the access network conditions, one of a plurality of coding methods for network traffic between the client device and the destination, including selecting coding parameters for the one coding method; and
causing, by the network device, coding to be executed on the network traffic, on behalf of the client device, according to the one coding method and the selected coding parameters;
wherein the causing includes the network device outputting, to an access point in the access network, an instruction specifying the one coding method and the selected coding parameters, enabling the access point to convert between the network traffic and coded network traffic in response to the instructions.
